Dante.1508 Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 (edited) I really like having all my games in one place (have nearly 2000). I like using steam, but if i cannot use my existing account in Steam i just will ignore GW2 permanently.

Seems a bit silly, but whatever floats your Skiff! 5 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Uzumaki.1524 Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 The most important question has not been asked (or maybe it was, i didin't read the entire thread lel). Will GW2 be added to the "SJW Games List"? Has it already been added?? Can't wait to see hehe. 1 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garpu.6210 Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 I kind of wish it were like Path of Exile or SWTOR, where you could play with it with an existing account, but that's just because I'd like to keep things contained with proton/steam than have it scattered among a few different WINE prefixes. But i've been playing with proton since the CoherentUI update, so now it's Steam's problem to fix, not mine. 😄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I /playdead and they scoot over, stand there a few seconds, then ask how to loot my body. So when Steam launches I expect more of that sort of thing! 1 1 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are aware you keep the GW2 launcher, right? Nothing changes. Btw, not a Steam employee. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkobra.6439 Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 Steam's a client. Just like Epic and whatever else. The TYPE of player doesn't suddenly change because of it. I also left GW2 for a LONG time because it's hardly hardcore so the "casuals" comment made me laugh. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redfeather.6401 Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 (edited) Steam is alright. I bought elder scrolls online on steam and the non-steam version as well just so I can play with or without steam. I wonder if guild wars will allow the same. I also play warframe on and off steam. The steam version of that game has community made skins for sale, called 'tennogen' that the stand-alone client doesn't have. I am not sure why.

It was in reference to the comment that someone would quit if they couldn't launch through Steam....like why is it an issue since you have been using the regular launcher. Sarcasm.

It kills your nervous system. Bad for anxiety. Well, so far so good... it seems. A lot more instance changing though. Was trying to do a guild mission yesterday, me and my guildies had to change map instance about 3 times. What have your experience been so far?

What have your experience been so far? Absolutely right about being hard on the nerves and anxiety. Moderation is called for lol. Personally haven't noticed any difference in the maps, other than lots of people working on the new Decade achievements and lots at the world bosses because of it.

Biermeister.4678 Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 Played 5 hours yesterday on steam account and no disconnect or error messages, logged on main account and as soon as I went to a new map connection to servers message Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are ruining what they've done with the game so far and are turning this game into another MMO that is just like the others. We have enough mainstream MMOs, we don't need another one. But ArenaNet has already thrown the dice and there's no going back. Personally I'm waiting to see what happens with the game going forward. Will they ditch the old community in favor of making this game another elitist/try-hard game in which only dps and raiding matters, to try and get more people play it? Will they take away all the things the casual player base likes? So far that's what it looks like they are doing. All we can do now is wait for the next Living World Season (or whatever they name it this time) and for the Steam launch and see what happens. I just hope this game doesn't become another "average Joe" of MMOs. How exactly are they ruining the game? You'll have to explain that to me because when I look at the changes they make I only see Anet trying to fix the problem of elitism and gatekeeping in certain content by making it more appealing and inclusive to the significantly larger casual playerbase. As someone who's long argued in those kinds of discussions in favour of this kind of thing I just can't see where the "ruining" element your talking about is.. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
